Trenor’s Ecofriendly -Revolution: Introducing Wet Cleaning Technology.
As the world becomes more conscious of its environmental impact, industries worldwide are actively searching for innovative methods to incorporate sustainable practices into their operations.
Trenor’s dedication to sustainability is the driving force behind our decision to abstain from on-site dry cleaning, and instead opt for outsourcing.
Dry cleaning utilizes chemical solvents like perchloroethylene (perc), a hazardous air pollutant known for its potential harm to air, soil, and aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, perc exposure carries health risks, ranging from respiratory and skin irritation to potential carcinogenic effects. Trenor prioritizes the well-being of both our workers and customers, thus this decision aligns with health and safety standards.
Aside from drycleaning, traditional laundry methods, with their heavy reliance on water, energy, and chemical detergents, have long been associated with environmental concerns. From excessive water consumption to the release of harmful substances into our ecosystems, the laundry industry has been in need of sustainable change.
We are proud to announce a bold step at Trenor toward a greener future by adopting Wet Cleaning technology — a revolutionary and eco-friendly alternative to traditional laundry methods. Join us on this journey as we explore the benefits of Wet Cleaning and how it aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
What is wet cleaning?
Wet Cleaning is an approach that places equal emphasis on both fabric care and environmental preservation. This innovative process incorporates specialized detergents, conditioners, and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure effective cleaning of clothes, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional dry-cleaning methods.
A key advantage lies in the role of water as the primary cleaning agent, acting as a universal solvent to effectively tackle stains and soils without resorting to harsh chemicals. This reliance on water, complemented by specialized detergents tailored for wet cleaning, not only preserves fabrics but also sets wet cleaning apart from traditional laundry methods, which are notorious for their substantial water consumption.
Wet cleaning optimizes resources by using a smaller amount of water, combined with specialized detergent, ensuring both environmental consciousness and meticulous fabric care.
The Wet Cleaning revolution is driven by a set of advanced, smart equipment designed to elevate the laundry experience. Wet Cleaning technology utilizes programmable washing machines equipped with a wide range of customizable settings.
For every kind of fabric, these machines generate specialized cycles. They are designed to cater to the unique needs of different fabrics (be it cotton, denim, wool, cashmere, silk, lace, polyester etc.), adjusting factors such as water temperature, agitation, and spin speed. Tailoring the washing process to each fabric type ensures thorough cleaning without subjecting fabrics to unnecessary wear and tear.
The drying stage is equally crucial in Wet Cleaning, and the precision-conscious drying units are calibrated to perfection. These units incorporate cutting-edge technology to regulate temperature and humidity levels, preventing over-drying and minimizing energy consumption. As a result, your clothes not only come out clean but also experience less stress from excessive heat exposure.
What sets Wet Cleaning apart:
1. Gentle on Fabrics: Wet Cleaning is a fabric-friendly method that ensures garments receive thorough cleaning without the harsh chemicals often associated with traditional methods. This gentle approach preserves the texture, colour, and overall quality of your clothes, extending their lifespan.
2. Environmentally Conscious: By adopting Wet Cleaning, customers can actively contribute to environmental preservation. We understand that our customers share our values. By choosing Trenor’s Wet Cleaning services, you actively participate in promoting sustainable practices in the laundry industry. It’s a sustainable choice that aligns with a greener lifestyle.
3. Suitable for a Wide Range of Fabrics: Wet Cleaning is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of fabrics. Whether it’s delicate silks and wools, cotton, or synthetic blends. This method effectively addresses the unique needs of each material, including garments labelled as ‘dry clean only.’ Clients can benefit from specialized care for their entire wardrobe.
4. Stain and Odour Removal: With the use of water as a universal solvent, Wet Cleaning effortlessly eliminates stains. The process is gentle yet effective, ensuring garments are free from any lingering traces of stains. Wet cleaning also takes care of unwanted odours, leaving clothes not only visually clean but also refreshed. This benefit ensures that garments don’t just look good; they also maintain a pleasant feel and smell.
5. Allergen Removal: The wet cleaning process actively sanitizes your clothes by eliminating allergens, dust, and germs that might linger unseen. This meticulous process not only contributes to a healthier living environment but also ensures comfort and safety for those with sensitivities or allergies. With Wet Cleaning, your garments aren’t just visually clean — they’re hygienically treated.
Wet cleaning, while commonly associated with garments, extends its benefits beyond clothing to various items in our daily lives. This cleaning method can be applied to household textiles like curtains and bed linens, as well as soft furnishings such as pillows and cushions. Delicate fabrics, including silk, wool, and cashmere, can be safely and effectively cleaned using wet cleaning principles. Even certain types of footwear, especially those with fabric or leather components, and accessories like hats, scarves, and ties, can undergo wet cleaning. The adaptability of wet cleaning makes it the perfect solution for enhancing the hygiene and longevity of a diverse range of items beyond just clothing.
